The days are getting longer

In the summer it seems that the night comes slowly. Life slows down, the sun drifts towards the horizon leisurely, sometimes spectacularly but you know the day is coming to a close.


In winter the night just appears - one minute its daytime and the next its dark and you just want to be at home - with a good fat book and cup of tea.


In the springtime the sun simply disappears but the light lingers....for a long time. The light is diffused and you can see the stars and sometimes the moon. The birds are back, loud and very active....for a long time.


And you wonder when will the night come. This time of the day makes me very restless.
